Joan's world has literally fallen apart. She lives in one tiny piece of the shattered universe, bounded on all sides by shimmering veils. When the creator god, calling himself "Cassius", stumbles into the cathedral where she lives, she is drawn into an adventure of cosmic proportions.

The story is told through the cracked lens of seven experienced podcast authors. Nobilis, Christiana Ellis, Chris Lester, Graydancer, Paul S. Jenkins, Philippa Ballantine, Brandon Crose and John Tanzer take turns, chapter by chapter writing and reading episodes of the story.

I LOVED this book if only for it's alternate take on God. It does have issues as it is written by different authors in turn who all had different ideas. To me that made it fun as well especially with 'knowing' some of the authors from their other work.

Pieces. I am very impressed and so glad I listened. What I thought was going to be a SciFi, turned out to be an investigation of many myths and god-belief systems. Like your art class description in the last chapter, one writer would not have added so many twists and turns. The listener has to understand the project, that different authors are each writing two chapters and then let it flow over them, enjoying the differences and turns in the road. Who would have ever guessed the paths the god would take, and the powers given and taken. And in the end, all is well. Difficult, but okay. I am glad I listened and have a great respect for the challenge the authors had writing, following another and you had for creating the ending. Thank you for the adventure.

Cobalt, what you hear is what you get; yes, there are some continuity problems. It's a cracked lens, and some of the cracks are pretty deep.
